A Hotel Inspired by a Magazine

A Melbourne-based online magazine comes to life as a pop-up hotel, featuring the work of local artists and creatives.

Lost & Found (the magazine) describes itself as "an insider's guide to the creative people, one-off events and hard-to-find places that make Melbourne worth a visit." Lost & Found (the hotel) is a gallery-style open loft filled with house plants and partitioned with white curtains. Located above the Captains of Industry, a tailor/shoemaker/barbershop/cafe, the hotel room itself is stocked with locally made goods, everything from the bath soap (Aesop) to the throw blankets (St. Albans) is sourced in Melbourne.
